I was in the Publix grocery store to grab a salad for lunch when I walked by the cooking station-Aprons simple meals. The woman asked me to please try this and handed me a tasting plate of food.

I couldn’t write about the tragedy before. I just didn’t know what to say. I sat down to write so many times and just couldn’t start with a single word. I feel so broken for the families who lost a loved one during the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. I have personal feelings that just aren't going away because...
JUST TEXT ME- ok? Just text me back. It bugs the heck out of me when I text someone and they call me right back. Yes I am next to the phone but why call? Why does it bug me so badly? If I have texted you it is because I don’t have time for a long conversation and I probably...

I was enjoying a gorgeous, sunny Sunday when my daughter asked me if we could run to the library to get a book she wanted. Who am I to say no to reading and homework? That would never happen in my house so we jumped in the car and headed to the library. As always, I saw a table set...
I am fortunate that my youngest child who is still in school-sixth grade, wants to get good grades and it is so important to her that the first thing she does when she comes home is grab a snack and start homework without me asking. A couple of my friends think it is so wonderful because they struggle with...
I just saw a preview for a new series beginning on tv called "The Job Interview" where “someone is going to get hired.” My immediate thought was why? What could this show do to hold my attention?
